Convert a presence/ absence matrix to a list of presence only

(http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-combine-presence-only-data-sets-to-one-presence-absence-table-td830140.html
) covered the need for making present list list to a matrix, 

Now, I ran into an opposite problem. I have a data matrix with 0, 1 on them,
what I need now is list of presence only for each column name

ie, this is what I have

        spl_A	spl_B	spl_C 
spcs1	1	1	0 
spcs2	1	0	1 
spcs3	0	1	1 


this is what I need

spl_A	  spl_B	spl_C 
spcs1  spcs1	spcs2 
spcs2	 spcs3	spcs3 



Thank you

try this; added an extra row so that the lengths would not be even:
+ spcs1   1       1       0
+ spcs2   1       0       1
+ spcs3   0       1       1
+ spcs4   0       0       1"), header = TRUE)
spl_A spl_B spl_C
spcs1     1     1     0
spcs2     1     0     1
spcs3     0     1     1
spcs4     0     0     1
+     sp <- row.names(x)[.col == 1]
+     c(sp, rep("", maxLen - length(sp)))
+ })
spl_A   spl_B   spl_C
[1,] "spcs1" "spcs1" "spcs2"
[2,] "spcs2" "spcs3" "spcs3"
[3,] ""      ""      "spcs4"
